Join Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts from across GSMW on a thrilling 3-day, 2-night backpacking adventure in the stunning Snowy Mountains of Southeastern Wyoming!
This adventure is a perfect opportunity to explore the wilderness, meet new friends, and push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Whether you're an experienced camper or new to backpacking, this trip will offer a rewarding challenge. You don’t need to own all your gear to participate, though a required packing list will be provided to help you prepare.
Get ready to earn your Eco-Trekker or Eco-Explorer Badge and First Aid Badge as you dive into outdoor living and adventure! You’ll learn valuable skills and insights that will help you grow in ways you didn’t expect. All participants can even earn an American Red Cross First Aid certification by adding it to their registration. Topics covered throughout the trip will include:
- Planning and organizing your backpacking adventure
- Outdoor living skills and survival basics
- Travel and navigation techniques
- Risk management and emergency procedures
- Expedition behavior and group dynamics
Pre-Trip Meetings:
We’ll hold 1-2 pre-trip meetings where
Scouts and registered adults will get all the details for the
adventure ahead. These meetings will focus on gear lists, preparation,
and any planning required before the trip. Each meeting will be
scheduled individually with each participant.
Day 1:
Arrive in the morning ready to pack your backpack,
get fitted with your gear, and divide up the equipment. After
everything is packed, we’ll head to the Snowy Mountains to begin our
journey. Our hike will be a short distance to the campsite, where
we’ll focus on familiarizing ourselves with essential backpacking
skills. We’ll make plenty of stops to rest, take photos, and enjoy the
surroundings. In the evening, we’ll learn basic camp skills and
prepare for the next day’s journey.
Day 2:
After breaking camp, we’ll hit the trail and
continue building our hiking and outdoor skills. Along the way, we’ll
take time to hone our techniques, enjoy the mountain views, and form
new friendships.
Day 3:
On our final day, we’ll take it slow, soaking in
the scenery and reflecting on our adventure. We’ll head back to the
trailhead and plan to return to Laramie by mid-afternoon, where we’ll
return our gear and wrap up our unforgettable journey.
Important Note for Adults:
Adults joining the trip will
play an active role in leadership and support. If you have any
questions about your participation, please reach out to Amy at Amyi@gsmw.org.
Gear Information:
GSMW will provide all group equipment,
including tents, stoves, fuel, water filters, medical supplies, safety
gear, as well as breakfast and dinner food, beverages, and guiding. We

will coordinate their own trail lunches and snacks, and we’ll offer
